2/8/2013-Can The Republicans Change Their Ways?

Bob Englehart

I love watching the Republicans struggle against their prejudice. Good luck. Anything to make the party respond to the reality of modern life. I don't think minorities will be fooled though. I heard a Hispanic congressman say that the GOP will not gain anything politically by immigration reform but they should do it anyway because it's the right thing to do. Refreshing words to come out of a Republican's mouth.

I don't see how the Republicans can change anything as long as they are paying fealty to Grover Norquist and the tea party. They'll derail anything that goes against their organizational bias, even if it's the right thing to do. I still say the moderates will have to bolt the party and start a new one and all they need is a good name. The tea party and the Norquistas will have a name for them. Traitor.
